The influenza virus manipulates the body's gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of functional genes into cells to replace or correct defective genes. Nucleic acids, such as viral vectors or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, are used to ...

Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide, causing debilitating symptoms ranging from muscle ...

As the demand for viral vectors rises in new gene therapy approaches, scientists seek ways to optimize their production.

A researcher in Purdue University’s College of Science is developing a patent-pending platform technology that mimics the dual-layer structure of viruses to deliver nucleic acid (NA)-based therapies ...

Researchers translated experimental data into Minecraft files to recreate 3D images in a more accessible setting.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Uppsala University have developed a powerful new technique to better understand how ...

The influenza virus manipulates the body’s gene regulation system to accelerate its own spread, according to researchers at ...

A scientific revolution is underway as researchers push to bring atomic-level precision, once reserved for small molecule ...

The nucleic acid molecules inherited by the living cell bear the plan of all the cell's protein molecules. It now appears that another kind of nucleic acid plays a key role in translating the plan ...

The preclinical study, published April 17 in Nucleic Acids Research, brings us closer to understanding the mechanisms behind aging and cancer. Before cells divide, they replicate the double ...
